Objectives Although cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is increasingly used to diagnose pericardial inflammation, imaging can still be challenging using conventional CMR techniques. Parametric mapping (T1/T2 mapping) techniques have emerged as novel methods to quantify focal and global changes of the myocardium without contrast agent. The aim of the present study was to implement parametric mapping to facilitate diagnostic decision-making in pericardial inflammation.
Due to the continuous development of medicine and the huge amount of clinical data collected while practicing it, there is an urgent need to optimize the working time of clinicians. One way to do this is to analyze clinical data using machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) based on predictive models. These models predict the presence or future occurrence of specific outcomes (e.g., a specific condition or disease) with specific inputs (e.g., certain patient characteristics or medical
Is 15 lead ECG better than 12 lead for diagnosing posterior MI or right ventricular infarction? When do you need a 15 lead ECG? Jesse McLaren guides us through 8 cases to highlight the steps and pitfalls in diagnosing posterior MI and RVMI in light of recent ECG literature. The post ECG Cases 31 Is a 15 lead ECG better than 12? Diagnosing Posterior MI and RVMI appeared first on Emergency Medicine Cases.
A 30-something male presented in the middle of the night with several hours of sharp, non-radiating, left sided chest pain. It was there earlier, went away, and then returned approximately 1 hour prior to arrival. He is a smoker and has some family history of early MI. Exam and vital signs were normal. Here was the triage ECG: There appears to be diffuse ST Elevation (II, III, aVF with reciprocal STD in aVL, V3-V6, and lead I, with T-waves that appear to be hyperacute (broad and fat, but on the

AI is transforming clinical trials—accelerating drug discovery, optimizing patient recruitment, and improving data analysis. But its impact goes far beyond research. As AI-driven innovation reshapes the clinical trial process, it’s also influencing broader healthcare trends, from personalized medicine to patient outcomes. Join this new webinar featuring Simran Kaur for an insightful discussion on what all of this means for the future of healthcare!
Objective To determine the impact of sodium-dependent glucose type 2 cotransporter inhibitors on the renal function in acute heart failure. Methods In a single-centre, controlled, randomised study, patients were prescribed dapagliflozin in addition to standard therapy, or were in receipt of standard therapy. The prespecified outcome was renal function deterioration; the secondary outcomes were the development of resistance to diuretics, weight loss, death during hospitalisation and the rehospita
In this first part of our 2-part series on Cardiac Arrest Controversies Rob Simard, Bourke Tillman, Sara Gray and Scott Weingart discuss with Anton how best to ensure high quality chest compressions, the pros and cons of mechanical CPR, the literature on dual sequential defibrillation and optimizing pad placement, epinephrine vs vasopressin, amiodarone vs lidocaine, when to consider IV calcium and sodium bicarbonate, esmolol, airway considerations, sedation in cardiac arrest, the pros and cons o

You can download this script as a Hindi translation here. Today’s vlog is on the subject of heart failure and in particular on a special type of pacemaker which can make a significant improvement to the quality of life and length of life in patients with heart failure. What is heart failure? The heart is a pump and if the heart is in some way damaged – be that by a heart attack or a virus or harmful drugs then the heart is unable to pump out enough blood to meet the body’s requirements esp
Background The clinical significance of peak troponin levels following ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has not been definitively established. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between peak high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) and all-cause mortality at 30 days and 1 year, and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in STEMI.
A cardiac arrhythmia is an abnormal heartbeat caused by a problem in the "wiring" of your heart muscle. You may or may not feel it but it should not be ignored.
Written by Jesse McLaren, with comments by Smith and Grauer Four patients presented with cardiorespiratory symptoms, with inferior ST elevation and reciprocal change on their ECG. Which patient had occlusion MI? Note: according to the STEMI paradigm these ECGs are easy, but in reality they are difficult. First lets start with each ECG without clinical context.
Objective Left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) is morphologically characterised by excessive trabeculations and deep recesses in the ventricular wall. The risk of thromboembolic disease in the paediatric patients with LVNC has not been clearly established. We conducted this systematic review to evaluate the prevalence and incidence of thromboembolism (TE) in paediatric and adult patients with LVNC and searched for risk factors for TE to explore management strategies.
